their mothers down to the river, to
witness the baptizing of their cousin,
Robert Powell, and other children. On
the 8th, they, along with Willie Powell

The girl came to- the surface once and
then disappeared, when terror-strickeu
Willie ran to the house and told his
mother that Josie and Eliza had gone
way down in deep hole. The mothers
OF the two unfortunate children rushed
frantically to the rivers brink, only to
find their beloved little ones cold and
stiff in the arms Of the grim monster,
Death. The boy had been washed up
on the beach about thirty yards below.
The girl went with the stream about
fifty yards, when the braids of her hair
caught on snag and held her floating
in the water.

AN EASY CAPTURE.
After Dodging Officers Several Years jim
Bennings Goes Back to Jail.

Three years ago Jim Bennings and Wesley
Gates were two very bad local characters The
former was sentenced to the penitentiary
from this and again from Hamilton county for
grand larceny, and Gates has also served term.
On being released they came here, and although
the police were unable to find out just what they
were doing. it was generally believed they were
operating horse thief association, and in fact
doing general thieving and highway robbery
business For almost whole year special
officer detailed to watch them. but they
evaded arrest About two years ago. one dark
night. the two left this city in hack and went
over to Lebanon. Boone county, where
considerable booty. The following night they
went to Danvie and plundered three stores,
and the sar,e night came to this city. After
two-days' search they were arrested near haugh-
vile, west of the river. by Patrolrnen Laporte
and Davis. They taken to Danville, and
the grand jury indicted them for grand larceny.
few days before their trial they escaped from
Jail. and all efforts to recapture them failed
In August. 1885. Superintendent Lang was no.
tilted that Bennings was hiding near
White river about Broad Ripple.
With posse of men, Captain Lang
went out on night to capture the fugitive.
Officers were stationed on both sides of the
river, hut jus+5efore they reached his hiding
place Bennings discovered them and ran. They
chased him. but were unable to overtake him.
Since this time reports have occasionally reached
the police that the men were In the city, but
nothing definite known until yesterday
morning About o'clock young man who
| knew Bennings went to the station house and
notified Captain Campbell that Bennings was in
Pat Killiar's Saloons corner Pearl and Missouri
streets. With Detectives Haley and Thornton,
Campbell went Immediately to the saloon.
The two detectives were directed to guard
the building. while Campbell went inside.
| When he entered the front door he
| saw Bennings combing his hair in a
| dressing room attached to the saloon Beside
| him on a chair lay his ready revolver. The
CAPTAIN approached him unobserved. and pick
| ing up to the weapon, said: "Bennings. your
| gun is a better one than mine; / guess FL use
| it." The fugitive turned around amazed. and
exclaimed WELL I knew they would give me
away" He refused TO say anything in regard to
where he had been since he broke Jail at Dan
| ville and would give no information regarding
| the whereabouts of William Gates. The sheriff
! of Hendricks county was notified of the arrest
| and came to the city the o'clock train yes

Mileage Books


The continuance of mileage books is O very
live question with the railroad managers at
present, and, as might be expected, there is
wide divergence of opinion upon the expedency
Of continuing their sale. The Cleveland Leader
says: There is reason to apprehend that these
mileage books may prove source Of endless
trouble before they finally attain settled status
in the economy of the commerce act. The lead
ing Interpretation is that the mileage books must
be sold to every body or withdrawn from sale en-
tirely, that to continue their sale to commercial
travellers only, as most of the lines now do. is
discrimination odious to the act Because the
books must be sold to the general public, many
railroad managers favor their complete retire
ment, thinking that otherwise the railroads will
lose large portion of their high priced passen
ger traffic in favor of the cheap mileage books,
and it is doubtless with this in view. and with a
view TO keeping the books from the scalp
strong In favor of their withdrawal.
| An impression seems to prevail in some quar-
| rers that the books may be recalled at pleasure
| by the railroad company issuing them, but 1t is
cannot take shelter behind the interstate-com-
| merce act and say that the acceptance CT the
mileage books is an illegal discrimination. The
| act distinctly excludes mileage books from pro-
hibitory provisions. The railroad company may
not say that these books are illegally issued, for
| the reason that they are sold to only class
of people The law says they may issue them
to every body. and this is the horn of the diem
ma they would probably have to accept. To re-
call the mileage books would be to vitiate a
| written contract. 1t is, therefore, highly prob
| able that all mileage books that are now sold
will have to be accepted as fares by the issuing
lines within the limits Of time prescribed at the
date Of SALE

THE JEFFERSONVILLE PRISON.
Grand Jury Investigation Of Towards Mis-
management-Two Directors Appointed.

Southern prison matters had soma attention
about the State Offices yesterday through the
ceipt of telegram by Attorney general Niche
ener from the prosecuting attorney of Clark
county, the visit of Warden Patton, and the ap-
pointment of two prison directors by the Gov
ernor. The telegram stated that the Clark
county grand jury had begun an investigation of
Jack Towards career warden, and that it
would be pushed energetically until every fact
of his bad management was reached. Warden
Patton came to the city in search of a book
keeper, but did not decide on the employment of
several persons suggested to him. He has not
much to say about the prison, except that the
work OK reform has begun. Directors Wilson
and Norvelfs terms of Office have expired and
yesterday the Governor named as their
successors Clement Doane, of Dubois, and
Judge George W. Dsnbow, of Harrso n county.

that the southern prison will have to be aban-
doned.

against the State" he said, II would have the
seven hundred convicts removed to the Michi-
gan City prison. If any persons wanted to test
my power to do it after the removal, they could
do so. Warden Murdoch has told me that he
could accommodate in the northern prison all
the convicts from the Jeffersonville peniten-
tiary within thirty days The Jeffersonvle To-
cation is entirely unfit for prison, and it oueh,
